What is the constant term in ( (x-2)(x-5) )?
Advertisement
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(10\)
\((x-2)(x-5)=x^2-7x+10\). Hence, the term without \(x\), i.e. the constant term, is \(10\). Here, \(-7\) is the coefficient of \(x\), not the constant term. Exam tip: in the product of two binomials, multiply the constant terms to find the constant term.
